So other than the zillions of songs we sing (enough with "Itsy Bitsy" I tell you), it's nice to have some stuff to occupy him while he's strapped in his car seat. And as an art teacher, it especially pleases me when there are creative, artistic things for him to play with, especially ones that develop imagination, rather than just do the work for you.
MagnaPlay is a company that encourages both learning and creativity in children. They make a variety of products for kids, like puzzles, play cases and that allow kids to have fun learning anywhere and anytime.
Their MagnaKase magnetic dry-erase case is a great travel companion. It's a hard case with a magnetic dry-erase surface on the outside
It's nice that all of a child's materials like crayons, papers and magnets fit inside the case, making it easy to take along with you. Since it's a hard case, you don't have to worry about things inside breaking, like crayons or pencils. The case comes with an dry-erase marker and eraser, as well as two magnetic strips for securing paper to the board.
MagnaPlay offers free downloads on their website for printable activity sheets like word puzzles and connect-the-dot pictures, as well as links to free coloring page resources.
In 2009 alone, they've won 5 prestigious toy awards
I'm really looking forward to taking the MagnaKase to Florida when we fly there next year. I think it will be great in the plane to occupy SoJo, especially that we can fit quite a few activities in it. Right now he enjoys drawing on the white board and erasing it, as well as putting his dinosaur magnets on the boards. At 18 months, he's a little young to get the full concept of the case, but that will surely change.
Currently, the MagnaKase is on sale for $20.50 (doesn't include the activities). You can also buy it for $25 on Amazon.com with Free super-saver shipping.
MagnaPlay is also hosting a Holiday Contest on their blog, where you can win one of three $100 Visa gift cards just by submitting a Letter to the Toy Fairy written by your 4-8 year old child. Seven finalists will win a MagnaKase.
MagnaPlay is generously giving away...
A MagnaKase Magnetic Dry Erase Case!
(doesn't include the activities--just the case, magnetic strips, dry erase marker and eraser)
